To the contrary, I would say that the ONLY way Jesus could exist ( as the Christian God) is by being concieved (impregnated) by the Holy Spirit (overshadowing Ghost) and given birth to by a very human virgin (lass). Thus fulfilling the Bible’s claim that, in His incarnation, Jesus was both fully man and fully God.

Jesus did (and does) exist. Ancient to modern historians will only verify this point. So the logical question is not, “Did Jesus exist”, but rather “Is Jesus really whom he is reported to have said he was/is?”

C.S.Lewis expressed his idea in Mere Christianity:

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

The most important and ultimate question, Jim, is who do YOU say Jesus is….liar, lunatic, or Lord?

Thanks again Justin for your plug for Peter Williams videos. I also have the video broken down for those who would like it in sections of the lecture only, the 3 responses only, and the QA only for easier access.
